N2 - A method is described whereby the chloride concentration and the ratio of 36Cl to total chloride of a given water body are compared with those of precipitation to determine the fraction of the original precipitation which was lost by evapotranspiration before it reached that water body. This method was applied to 11 water sources in the upper Jordan River basin, and the evapotranspirative loss was generally found to be in the range 40–90%. This method, which is much simpler than the other methods for determining regional evapotranspiration, will enable us to monitor the changes in the hydrological cycle which are expected to result from the greenhouse effect.
